Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine job requirements
- 1.1. Required information is determined from drawings, instructions and specifications.
- 1.2. Construction process is selected to suit job application.
2. Construct marine vessel timber components
- 2.1. Appropriate tools/equipment are selected to suit job application.
- 2.2. Template/measurement is selected to suit component construction.
- 2.3. Material is dressed, sized and shaped to suit job requirements and specifications.
- 2.4. Final form/shape of component is checked against template/measurement specification and modified if necessary.
- 2.5. Component identification and set-up markings are applied.
3. Assemble components
- 3.1. Jig support assembly is set up to suit job requirements.
- 3.2. Materials for fastening, joining and sealing are selected and used according to job specifications and requirements.
- 3.3. Assembly and fastening sequence is determined.
- 3.4. Material preservation requirements are carried out, if required.
- 3.5. Components are assembled to specified line markings and positions.
- 3.6. Assembled component meets specifications.
- 3.7. Component assembly is cleaned/prepared to suit job requirements.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Material
Hardwood, softwood or plywood sheeting, or a combination
Materials for fastening, joining and sealing
Marine-grade adhesives; sealant and caulking materials; metal fasteners (copper/silicon bronze/monel/stainless steel etc.).

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to construct and assemble marine vessel timber components. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, i.e. the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with constructing and assembling marine vessel timber components or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
Method of assessment
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to relevant workplace procedures/product and manufacturing specifications/ codes/standards/manuals/reference materials.
